Isosize is a command-line utility that allows you to display the size of an ISO file. The ISO file format is a standard format for storing data on optical disc, and is commonly used for storing software and other types of files. Isosize simply takes the ISO file as input and outputs the size of the file in bytes. This can be useful for checking the size of an ISO file before burning it to a disc, or for comparing the size of different ISO files.
